We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

7 Speed Coaster/Brake Hub System For Manual Wheelchairs
DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from applicant's abstract) This proposal describes the first internally-geared, 7-Speed/Coaster-Brake Hub System for Manual Wheelchairs {MWCHS} with significant commercial potential since it can be retrofitted to most manual wheelchairs {MWC}to increase the wheelchair's function. The MWCHS has a total gear range of 284% and provides a mechanical advantage similar to the 10-Speed derailleur/sprocket system found on most bicycles. The general populations who will benefit from the MWCHS include: marginal pushers, persons with upper extremity pain and persons who wish to travel over long periods of time or over long distances. The MWCHS allows the operator the choice of either: 1. normal Single/Fixed Gear Travel, accessible by direct rotation of tires or (optional) tire handrims; or 2. electronically Shifted 7-Speed and Differential Coaster- Brakes, accessible by second set of handrims with forward or backward motion, respectively. Four primary areas of the research plan remain to be completed in a Phase I: 1. completion of MWCHS construction; 2. evaluation of user feedback, 3. preliminary testing of physiological efficiency; and 4. MWCHS fatigue testing.
